본 논문은 각성상태에 다른 생리신호와 행위신호 및 주관적 평가의 상관관계에 대하여 나타내었다. Nz와 반응시간은 mKSS level 의 변화와 동일한 경향을 나타내는데 반하여 1분당 눈 깜박임 수는 앞의 두 가지 변수와 다른 경향을 나타내었다. 1분당 눈깜박임 수는 mKSS level 1에서 5까지는 낮은 변화율 갖고 mKSS level 7에서는 높은 변화율을 갖는 반면에 mKSS level 9에서는 이와 반대로 변화율이 급격히 감소한다. 피검자들은 서로다른 1분당 눈깜박임 수(EBR)를 가지나 EBR의 변화율은 비슷하였다. 그러므로 EBR의 변화율을 각성판정지표로 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 반응시간 실험 결과로부터mKSS level 5이상부터 작업수행능력이 낮아짐을 알 수 있었고 false positive 와 false negative 가 mKSS level3부터 관찰되었으므로 효과적으로 각성제어를 위하여 mKSS level 3과 5사이에 각성상태를 향상시키기 위한 소리나 향기 등의 자극을 주어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop the Korean Somatization Scale for Children (KSS-C) and to evaluate the reliability and validity of this scale. Methods: Sixty-five children and adolescents with somatic symptoms were evaluated the KSS-C, Child Version, the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). 65 parents of the subjects evaluated the KSS-C, Parent Version and Korean version of the Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL). Psychometric properties and associations with the internalizing symptoms were. Results: Three factors were extracted by factor analysis. KSS-C was significantly correlated with the CDI, the STAIC, and the internalization, externalization and somatization scale of the K-CBCL. The KSS-C, Parent Version was significantly correlated with the KSS-C, Child Version. Frequently reported somatic symptoms in children were fatigue, headache, low energy, stomachache, and nausea. Conclusion: Both KSS-C, Child Version and KSS-P, Parent Version were valid and reliable instrument assess somatic symptoms in Korean children and adolescents.

This paper describes the relationship among physiological, behavioral signal, and subjective evaluation depending on arousal level. Nz and reaction time hall similar pattern with KSS level, but eyeblink rate was different from these two parameters. Eyeblink rate increased slowly from KSS level 1 to 5, and had high increasing rate at KSS 7. But it showed steep descent at KSS level 9. From the result of reaction time test, since human performance was decreased rapidly above the KSS level 5, it is desirable to give a subject some stimulus such as sound or aroma to rise arousal level above the KSS level 3.

본 논문은 각성도 평가시 주관적 평가와 생리신호인 GSR과 자극에대한 반응시 간(RT)와의 관계 및 각성상태에 따른 human performance에 대하여 연구하였다. KSS level이 높을 수록 Nz와 RT가 증가 하였고, 특히 KSS level 5이하 에서는 RT 값이 0.8 초 미만으로 낮으며 KSS level 7 이상에서는 평균 1.6초 이상의 높은 값을 갖는다. 이 는 KSS level 7 이상부터는 저각성상태로 인하여 작업에 대하여 human performance가 급격하게 저하함을 나타낸다. 5단계의 KSS level 에대한 Nz를 구현하였으며 KSS level 5에 대한 평균 Nz는 약 1.4이었다. 따라서 생리 신호를 기준으로한 각성상태의 효과적인 제어를 위해서는 Nz 값이 1.4이하의 범위 내에서 이루어져야 함을 알 수 있었다.

목적: 회전근 개 질환 치료 후 복귀 판정에 있어 기능적 평가로서 Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS)과 등속성 근력 평가 간의 상호 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 충돌 증후군 59명과 회전근 개 파열 환자 36명을 대상으로 하였다. KSS와 등속성 근력을 측정하고 KSS의 총점 및 기능적 평가 항목을 등속성 근력 결핍과 비교하여 상관 관계를 알아보았다. 결과: 등속성 근력 결핍은 KSS의 총점이나 근 지구력 검사 항목 점수가 클수록 근력 감소가 적게 나타나면서 상관계수 값(r)이 0.346이하로 약하게 보였다. KSS 도수 근력 검사 항목은 등속성 근력 감소와 상관 관계가 유의하지 않았다(p>0.05). 결론: 등속성 근력 결핍은 KSS 총점과 KSS 지구력 항목과는 약한 관련성을 보였다. 치료 후 정상 활동 복귀를 위해서 등속성 근력 검사를 통해서 판단함이 유용하다.

Background: The Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS) is a reliable and valid procedure for discriminative assessment of the clinical status of patients with rotator cuff tears. This study evaluates the correlation between the preoperative KSS and factors in patients with rotator cuff tears. Methods: From November 2009 to June 2016, 970 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were retrospectively evaluated. A total of 490 patients met the study criteria. Preoperative factors included age, sex, symptom duration, mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) tear size, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), tangent sign, tendon involvement (type I, supraspinatus; type II, supraspinatus and subscapularis; type III, supraspinatus and infraspinatus; type IV, all 3 tendons), fatty infiltration of rotator cuff muscles (group I, Goutallier stages 0 and 1; group II, Goutallier stages 2, 3, and 4), and KSS. Results: Old age, ML tear size, and AP tear size negatively correlated with the preoperative KSS (p<0.001). AHD showed a positive correlation with the preoperative KSS (p<0.001). A significantly inferior preoperative KSS was found in females and type III tendon involvement (p<0.001). For supraspinatus and infraspinatus, the preoperative KSS of group II fatty infiltration showed a significantly lower score than group I fatty infiltration (p<0.05). Conclusions: A relatively lower preoperative KSS was associated with old age, large tear size, narrow AHD, female, type III tendon involvement, and group II fatty infiltration of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Our study indicates that preoperative KSS can be a good measurement for the preoperative status of patients with rotator cuff tears.

Background: Assessment of the clinical outcomes after rotator cuff repair is essential for their effectiveness on treatment. The Korean Shoulder and Elbow Society devised the Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS) for patients with rotator cuff disorder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the availability of the KSS for assessment of clinical outcomes in patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and for comparison with other appraisal scoring systems. Methods: A total of 130 patients with partial-thickness or full-thickness rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic repair using a single row or double row suture bridge technique were enrolled. The average follow-up period was 25.9 months. All patients were classified according to various factors. Comparison within corresponding categories was performed, and the correlation between the KSS and other shoulder assessment methods including University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Constant and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score was analyzed. Results: Total score of the KSS response had increased from 59.6 preoperatively to 88.96 at last follow-up. All KSS domains, including function, pain, satisfaction, range of motion, and muscle power had improved up to 24 months postoperatively. Statistical significance was observed mainly in preoperative measurements with number and size of torn tendons, and greater than or equal to grade 3 of fatty infiltration. The KSS was best correlated with the UCLA scoring system in both preoperative (r=0.785) and postoperative (r=0.951) measurements. Conclusions: The KSS was highly reliable and valid as a discriminative instrument, and it showed strong correlation with ASES and UCLA scoring systems.

Soy sauce is one of the representatives of traditional fermented foods in Korea. However, studies on soy sauce are relatively insufficient in Korea compared to Japan. In this study, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of polysaccharides were measured by polysaccharides isolated from two different soy sauces, Korean and Japanese (KSS-0 and JSS-0). KSS-0 was purified into two fractions using gel chromatography and named them as KSS-I and KSS-II. To investigate the antioxidant activity of the polysaccharides, we measured the polyphenol content and radical scavenging activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of polysaccharides, we used RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and induced inflammation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Then, we measured levels of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Among the four polysaccharides, KSS-II showed the highest antioxidant activity and had good anti-inflammatory activity; KSS-II decreased inflammatory mediators in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the polysaccharide isolated from Korean soy sauce (KSS-II) showed better anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities than polysaccharides isolated from Japanese soy sauce, and may be useful as substances for functional foods.

본 논문에서는 각성도 평가시 초기 각성상태 차이에 따른 보상방법을 제안하고 보상상수를 결정하였다. 각성도는 IRI와 Nz에 의하여 측정되었다. BI는 초기 저각성상태의 영향을 많이 받게 되며 이는 각성도의 지표인 Nz 값에 영향을 주게 되어 각성수준이 실제보다 높게 평가된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 BI의 과대평가로 인한 오판정 문제를 해결하기 위하여 수정된KSS 측도(mKSS)를 이용한 보상법을 제안하고 각성수준에 따른 수정된 KSS 측도에 대응하는 보상상수를 결정하였다. 이 보상상수를 개발된 휴대형 각성도 측정 시스템에 적용하여, 실시간으로 각성도를 평가 및 제어한 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 보상법 및 보상상수의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Large-scale deletions of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) have been documented in patients with mitochondrial myopathies and seem to be especially frequent in patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). About one third of all patients shows a 4,977 bp deletion, known as the "common deletion", that removes a segment of DNA that includes several genes encoding for respiratory chain subunits. In this disorder, the population of deleted mtDNA molecules coexists with population of normal, wild-type full length mtDNAs, a situation known as heteroplasmy. We have performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on paraffin-embedded muscle tissues from two korean KSS patients. The PCR analysis revealed the existence of two amplified fragments, the deleted fragments, the deleted fragment of 123 bp characteristic for common deletion and the wild-type fragment of 152 bp.of 152 bp.
